About this course
A preparation course for the Professional Agile Leadership I (PAL I) certification from Scrum.org, with a timed 40-question practice exam in 40 minutes and an 80% pass mark, plus the Scrum Guide to study alongside it.
PAL I is earned by passing Scrum.org's online assessment, which has 36 questions in 60 minutes and an 85% passing score; no course is required. Use this course to practise the leadership knowledge the assessment tests and to find your weak spots before you take it.
The exam covers the PAL I focus areas: empiricism and agility, Scrum for leaders, developing people and self-managing teams, managing products with agility, Evidence-Based Management, and organisational design and culture. That is 40 original questions, mostly short leadership scenarios, none taken from the free test.
Each answer has an explanation that says why it is right and why the tempting alternative is wrong, grounded in the Scrum Guide 2020, the Evidence-Based Management Guide and common leadership practices such as facilitation and delegation.
You can retake the exam as often as you like, and your results are saved in your account. Questions are in English; explanations are also available in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Italian.
